    Sorry I cannot stomach more than a min of video anytime she's in it. I can't put my finger on it other than she seems so fake or unenthusiastic about making these videos. Sure she's pretty, but she needs much more practice in her delivery. She reminds me of the shy kid from Speech class getting up and trying to do a presentation for the first time, seems too nervous and unsure what she's going to say until she gets to the next line in the paragraph off camera.

    They need to find a different person to do the report. Yeah she's cute but until the little wave at the end I was wondering what was wrong with her arms and she also needs lessons in camera awareness. You should have your hands folded on the desk, not down at your sides out of sight like that. It just looked very strange.

    Indeed. Praise the lord!

    Good job on those nerfs as well.. sorely needed, especially now that people can be rather well equipped in 378's in a weekend of the new return-to-Wrath instances. I'm guessing this is another case of Blizzard listening to overwhelming demands that never actually took place to begin with.

    By Gosh, you're right! After waiting up to 30 minutes in a queue I should then take a 15 minute hit + another queue and hope that I don't get another zandalari again (40% chance). All for a problem with the queueing system and not the person queueing.

    Sounds fair to me as long as you go through the same when you're doing 5-mans.

    So basically, Zul'Gurub and Zul'Aman are now the same faceroll Heroics as the others were, only they still give better loot.
    All I can say is... "WoW".

    Good thing I hopped over to SWTOR. I'm not seeing this kind of BS there just yet.

    the only thing older than pervs drooling over women on the internet is the stereotype about pervs drooling over women on the internet.
    seriously, it's the perfect red. and she is rather cute. probably because she isn't perfect and pretty crazy (at least for the camera to not crush your view that all women just exploit men with sex appeal). I know you probably think it's sick when guys find a girl hot who isn't blonde and has huge tits - that just proves they never saw a real girl, huh? (actually I personally don't have any 'hots' for women ever. but still find her attractive, but how dare people express their views on your internet)

    The random Cataclysm heroic queue list included the new heroics as well. It is probably set up much like WotLK normal and heroic lists where if you do not have the item level to enter the dungeon, you will not be put in queue for it when you start looking for a random heroic. The nerfs do seem a bit strange, but then again, it is likely done to allow people to progress gear wise without having to partake in raiding or rep grinding.

    Well, it just officially opened up today. That's hardly enough time to tell.

    I think its a good idea, and they should lower the ilvl requirement now that the dungeons have been nerfed. Which of course will make it easier to gear alts.
    Yeah.. if they do ; then it would be ok.
    I mean, they would already have done it if it was their original goal. The change in its current state doesn't make any sense.

    Why do we care ? Because many people have alts.
    They say it will ease beginners' time, but I'm not even sure the noobest of the beginners can enjoy that kind of things

    Except she's probably much thinner than your GF.

    The girl's good looking, but she reaaalllly needs to work on her reading/speaking - would've been nice if she actually looked at the camera as well and engaged with the viewer.

    How does that even make sense? The perfectly valid reason for owning pvp gear as a fresh 85 is that they want to try out pvp and don't want to get completely stomped in BGs wearing their PvE quest greens and blues so they get some crafted gear.
